I support School Strike 4 Climate because fighting against climate change is the right thing to do. We all know that climate change is not only an issue of the planet heating up, but also a social justice issue. This is the time to act to change and repair the damage we have caused, at least we should stop making it worse for the generations to come. I can imagine that the future may look dooms and glooms from where young people stand, and this may be anxiety provoking. Young people are right. We have to make a radical move for climate now before the earth becomes uninhabitable. Climate is changing, and so should we.
